Question

The difference in angular momentum associated with the electron in two successive orbits of hydrogen atom is:

Answer 1

We know,

angular momentum of electron in the orbit =

$\frac{nh}{2\pi}$

Hence, in (n + 1 )th orbit =

$\frac{(n + 1)h}{2\pi}$

Hence , difference =

$\frac{(n + 1) - (n)h}{2\pi} \\ = \frac{h}{2\pi}$
